Application tiled April 22, 1925. Serial No. 24,949.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it knoivn that l, ERNs'r Soi-imprecisa, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Betroit, in the county ot V-.Tayne and State ofMichigan, have invented certain neiv and useful Improvements in Boilers,ot which the following is a specification.

This invention relates' to a device tor boiling eggs, and has it'oi itsobject the provision of means for regulating the time interval in whichthe eggs are exposed to the heating liquid.

The devices that are now used tor boiling eggs for different timeintervals have no means for maintaining the which are boiled fordifferent lengths oi' time separate from each other, and it is necessaryto mark the eggs with an indelible vpencil so that When the same arecooked one will know how long the eggs have been in the boiling water,as all the eggs are deposited in one place and confusion would resultunless the eggs were marked in some Way.

` l have incorporated in my device means for separating which are cookedJfor diiierent lengt-hs of time by depositing the same in separatecompartments and as a result the eggs will not become mixed up. lnaddition I provide an improved means for 3 0 boiling the eggs, 'tor'depositing the same into the device, and for delivering the eggs out ofthe cooker at the correct time.

In the drawings:

l is a perspective view ot the device embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line .2-2 of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 8-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on the line fle-fl ot 3. Fig. 5 is adetail in perspective of the carrier.

o designates a 'container a1"auge(l to hold a liquid. This containerprovided with the conipartment 72 in the bottom, in 1which is locale-dan electric heating element o, but obviously a burner r other means forhea ting the liquid maybe used. ik motor M is located within the cabinetand drives the Worm el, which in turn meshes with the Worm gear c forrotating the shaft at a relatively slow speed. It necessary, suitabletransmission gears could be incorporated be'- tween th@ tor and thestfiit ,f to provi le the de. speed.. eg/cd et cured to the shaft are aplurality ot' sprockets g and obviously all these sprockets are drivenat the same speed. "lttounted to the rear ot the sprockets g are Vanumber of `idling sprockets 7L, and running over the carried by thecontainer is the stationary trough m so that when the carriers arecarry- 'ing an egg through the heating liquid the is not permitted todrop ,out of the carrier, as the trough supports the eggs when they arepushed alongby .the carrier.

The eggs may 'be deposited into any rone of these conveyers through theopenings n. Referring to Fig. l, it will be seen how these openings arenumbered so as to designate thelength of time which the egg will be runthrough the heating liquid or boiling Water When deposited through anyone of these openings. In this Way the operator may drop the egg throughthe opening marked 3 il he desired the egg to be boiled tor threeminutes. The egg is pushed along by the carrier to the forward end ofthe cabinet and when the same is carried out of the boiling Water theejector arm o is arranged to strike the and ejectthe same from out ofthe carrier into the downwardly inclined shoot p, thereby delivering theegg through the outlet openings 7 into the trough s, which is divided upinto a plurality of compartments t. These compartments are labelled tocorrespond with the markings on the inlet openings n, so the one who iscooking the eggs will .know that any egg that is deposited in thecompartment t labelled 3, has been boiled for three minutes.

lhe carriers are provided with the short end vail at one end which doesnot rise to the full height of the side Walls thereby per* mitting theejector arm 0 to project vWithin the Carrier for the purpose of ejectingthe egg, The other end of the carrier is opened to the iull height. y 4f lilith such af there is no ehnce used paarat iso 'adieu Y an egg isplaeed through a certain opening it 1s delivered into the Correctcompartment winch bears the identical label as the opening through whichthe egg was first deposited into the boiler.

The cabinet is provided with the Cover o so that access may be had intothe interior of the Cabinet 'for the purpose of iilling the same ormaking adjustments that might be necessary.

That I Claim is:

l. An egg boiler, having in combination a container for holding aheating liquid, and a plurality ot endless Conveying means for carryingeggs vthrough said heating liquid, said conveying means being of variouslengths and so arranged as to each convey an egg through said heatingliquid for diiiierent periods of time.

2. An egg boiler, having in coml'iination, a container for holding aheating liquid, a plurality of conveying means :tor ca y' eggs throughsaid heating liquid, said conveying means being oit' various lengths andarranged to convey the eggs through the heating liquid for diitereutperiods of time, and separate delivery means for each Conveyer.

3. An egg boiler, having in combination, a Container for holding aheating liquid, a plurality of endless conveyers of various lengths forcarrying said eggs through the heating liquid for different periods oftime, and carriers Carried by each of said conveyers for each holding anegg.

4. An egg boiler, having in combination, a Container for holding aheating liquid, a plurality of endless conveying means of variouslengths and provided with Carriers for carrying eggs through saidheating liquid tor different periods of time, and means for positivelyejecting said eggs from out of the earriers on said eonveyers after thesame have been passed through the heating liquid.

5, An egg boiler, having in combination, a container for holding aheating liquid, a plurality ot driven sprockets and a plurality ofidling sprockets located at Various distances trom said drivensproekets, endless renveyers each passing over one driven sprocket, andone idling sprocket provided with means 'for support-ing eggs thereon,said eonveyers arranged. to Convey the j; through said boilinfY liquid,the longer oonvevers exposing the eggs Carried thereby to a longerperiod ot time in the heating liquid than the shorter eonveyers, andmeans for delivering said eggs after they are passed through the boilingwater to the outside ot the eonveyer.

In testimony whereof I have aiiixed my signature.

ERNST SCHEIDIGGER.
